Entrepreneurship

Young people can be the change they want to see in the world. It’s just that in many developing countries, young leaders do not always have the means to continue with their education and reach their full potential. Similarly, many young people do not have access to seed funding, business coaching, and/or confidence building opportunities to help them get started and put their ideas into practice.

Young people have diverse interest and talents, and may imagine community development taking place in a variety of ways. Not everyone will see a future through the lens of academia or higher education or a “traditional” career path.

Watipa curates a mentorship programme and partners with entrepreneurs in different countries to connect our scholars with hands on business experience, coaching, and investment opportunities where possible.
